Preferred term

Firestone Tires  

Definition

  • Firestone has faced significant scrutiny for the production of tires that matched poorly with Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer sport utility vehicles. This mismatch, or ultimately poor tire performance, resulted in many highway accidents wherein consumers were injured and in extreme cases killed when Firestone tires experienced tread separation.
